The Spirit Level

Our Pay-It-Forward Partners

This festival is free to you, but it is not free. It has cost time and money to put together. Without our sponsors, Screen Skills Ireland and Griffith College, or the generous participation of our amazing speakers, workshop leaders and panellists, this festival could not happen.

If you are planning on attending any of our free events, why not pay forward the money you might have spent on the ticket(s)? You can bet that these charities will pay that money forward, too.

Laura Lynn

“Our Care is planned and delivered through the collaborative efforts of an interdisciplinary team. We will work closely with your primary care team to provide the care and support your child and family require throughout the journey of your child’s illness and beyond.”

Jigsaw

“We offer a listening ear, and give expert advice and support to young people aged 12 – 25 years-old. We give families, teachers, and those who support young people’s mental health ways to cope and skills to be there for young people. Using our collective power to change attitudes we make sure that youth mental health is a national and local priority.”

Fighting Words

“Our aim is to help children and young people, and adults who did not have this opportunity as children, to discover and harness the power of their own imaginations and creative writing skills. At its core, Fighting Words is also about something much broader and more inclusive. It is about using the creative practice of writing and storytelling to strengthen our children and teenagers – from a wide range of backgrounds – to be resilient, creative and successful shapers of their own lives.”

The Irish Kidney Association

“The Irish Kidney Association was established in 1978 to support people living with, and affected by, end stage kidney disease and to also promote organ donation. The Association delivers peer support through a national network of 25 volunteer-led branches and a broad range of services and supports from headquarters in Donor House, as well as continuing to bring innovation to the promotion of organ donation, such as with the Digital Organ Donor Card app.”
